They probably needed the name for a new more expensive version of the electric Mustang SUV.

Too much drama

Well,I REALLY liked the first one.....

[98SVT - was 06GT]

Should read last SVT Mustang that marketing badged as a Shelby GT350 has rolled off the line. It means that they were only able to milk the name for 8 years after he passed away.

I doubt you have drive a gt350, that flat plane crank make it sing - They really pull, handle and feel raw, I will buy one at some point.

To answer your question, no I do not own a 350 or 350R

But i have driven both. Yes they are fun and very spirited, but at their time OVER PRICED by dealers.

I don't want to repeat my discussion with a well known race car driver about two or three years ago when he got offended that I expressed my thoughts on this product.  Overpriced and Obsolete even tgen as I knew that the new GT500 was coming out and would annihilate both 350 350R in handling and acceleration. I was even bold enough to tell or predict that
The 350s would be laid to rest by Ford.....

The Prophet

They always build a better mousetrap year after year so if that's your mark you will never own anything.

[FL SAAC]

Not looking for mousetraps, just stating what i felt 2/3 years ago with the Ford expert who had worked on the 350s development. How he thought that these 350s where the CATS MEOW. I just did not agree and told him back then they where OBSOLETE and that when the GT500s and C8s come out they would eat the 350s lunch. Went further and predicted Ford would shelf this STALE product. And as far as collectivity, I truly see none.

In life you have to call it as you see it. It will make you unpopular, but in the end you did the right thing. Watch my next post life as a referee....

Well back to the topic at hand,  Ford shelves STALE product....r.i.p.

I agree with you Tony.  These new cars feel stale to me.  I went and sat in a new GT500 a couple months back and I felt literally nothing and I'm a big Shelby fan.    Maybe I'm just a big fan of the 60's Shelby's or the amazing 05/06 Ford GT........ or maybe I'm just getting old and crochety. 

What ever it is, I sure will not be lining up for a new Shelby.    Must be the old and crochety coming out in me.

[FL SAAC]

Thank you kind Sir

Did you mention old and crotchety?

Well have I got a post for you....

Happy ? Curmudgeon Day January 29, 2021
